| I've never used one, but I don't see why not. If you can play CDs from it, you should be able to rip from them. Both actions involve accessing audio files from the disc. | |

| What Half said. I think it would be no different than transferring data from an external hard drive. | |

| Half said pretty much what I'm thinking. Seems like that would be one of the purposes for an external disc drive. | |

| Well, i just went to Best Buy and the generally worthless staff was able to answer my questions this time. You can rip with an external hard drive. I copped one. Plugged it in, and i was immediately able to start ripping. Good times!!!! | |

| Also, for future reference...
You can google things like "can i rip cds using an external cd drive?" It usually comes up with results from tech forums and whatnot. That's what I usually do if I have a question. | |
